Light Bringer

The 100x zoom on Samsung S21 is quite usable.

 Today mark the 3 day of using my new Samsung S21 Ultra 5G. It amaze me how those paid reviewer can claim that this phone can last a day with good battery life.  Just for the record a day means 24 hours not 8 hours. Today from morning 9am i play pokemon for 2 hours, watch youtube for 1 hour and 10 minutes , facebook for 38 minutes and run geekbench for 24 minutes ( 1 run it more than one time to see if the numbers go up or not) and 8 minutes of Waze (GPS) The battery drop from 100% (9 in the morning) to 30% (7pm in the afternoon) at an alarming rate.  As of writing now is 8pm and the battery life is at 25%.  So the battery life is not superb but barely pass my real world test because ussually by 8pm i will be back at home and have access to my charge to charge my phone. Now i wonder why those reviewer claim the battery life is very good. 

Here are some sample photos takrn from Samsung S21 Ultra using night mode. This playground is dark with no light. These photos is unedited. Overall the quality is very good. In fact is better than Huawei P30 pro night mode. 

Today is the second day, battery life dip to a dangeorus low level with just approximately 13 hours of usage. Some hardcore samsung users indicate i need to give 1 week time for it to improve. Well i will wait and see. I also took a few photos to check out how good is the camera at low light. Check out all these out of the camera photos , unedited. As you can see it handle blue sky quite well with good dynamic range. The zoom lens is good too in good lighting.  This is where it start to fail. Under heavy red shadow everything turns red. I guess this is a problem with the camera sensor. I will try to take some low light photos tonight.Stay tune...

It's been a long time i blog but this time what bring me back is the new Samsung S21 Ultra 5G. I have been a Huawei P30 pro users for 2 years. Everything is fine till google do not allow Huawei to use their Google services on newer devices such as Huawei P40 and above. So i waited patiently for a new Android flagship phone which have a good camera, large storage (512GB) and most important of all is able to use Google services. I know there are alternate way to sideload Google services into newer Huawei phone but i do not want to spend so much money on a flagship and then have to spend so much effort just to make it work. When Samsung announce S21 Ultra 5G, i told myself, this is it. An android flagship phone which meet all my requirement. I preorder the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G 512GB model. As you already know it does not come with a charger. But the pre order free gift which is the wireless charger do come with a charger! so problem solve. It also come with a free Galaxy Bud pro and S...

About Me I will keep the intro short to keep it real. I am not a paid reviewer as I don’t get paid or any shit like that. I am not a professional reviewer so don’t expect fancy graph or any technical analysis at all. Hmmm then what the hell am I going to write? Well… I am going to give my own personal opinion on the earbud and hopefully it helps others in choosing their right earbud. My impression of the bud could be not accurate because everybody hears thing differently. If you are old and have tinnitus, don’t expect everyone to hear the same thing as you. I am a treble sensitive guy, so any sibilance earphone, iem or headphone will go straight to the cold storage box. BTW I am a gamer too despite my lousy skill. The Butt I have to admit the main reason I get this earbud from NICEHCK is because of the rave review it is getting on forums and facebook. Most of the people vouch for this. Of course they are negative feedbacks but most of the feedback is positive. Bein...

I found out Zishan has released a new firmware for Z1 player. It supports three new playback modes. download here.. The update is simple. All you need is the ZiShan_Z1_0.2.zip and a TF card. I used a 32GB TF card in FAT32 format. 1) Turn off Z1 player; 2) Extract app.bin from ZiShan_Z1_0.2.zip, and put it in the root directory of the TF card; 3) Insert the TF card into the player; 4) Turn on the Z1 player. The LED light will be on for 3 seconds and then blink ultra-fast for around 5 seconds. (Done). 5) Remove the file app.bin in the card. What's new in v0.2: 1) Add 180 EQ settings. (WTF...it's a screen-less player.) 2) Add 3 playback modes: Repeat, Shuffle and Default. (Very useful for me.) 3) Fix a DSD problem. How to choose playback modes: Press 'Prev' for a few seconds until the LED light blinks faster than normal, then release. And: a) Press 'Prev' to choose Repeat track mode. b) Press 'Stop' to choose Shuffle all tracks mode. c)...
